Real Cthulhu Running Game - #2299 - Chapter 2240: Monster under the reeds

Chapter 2240 Monster under the reeds

“What you said makes sense. I remember I saw an experiment somewhere before, which was to dye a certain tree with colored water to prove how the tree transports water from the roots to the branches. of.”

Yang De leaned over and said: “But the water flow in this river is not slow, so if water of a certain color floats over, it shouldn’t be too late to dye some reed poles, right? And the dyed reed poles are only How many?”

“So I’m just guessing now, and you are right, Lao Yang. The prerequisite for this kind of experiment is that the colored water must always be able to submerge the roots of the experimental subject. After all, the water pumping efficiency of plant roots is quite good. slow.”

The player who was talking to Yang De suddenly changed his expression, and then said nervously: “Old Yang, do you think there is a possibility that there is something buried under this reed bush? Or these reeds It’s just growing on something!”

As soon as these words came out, Yang De and the other players around him also changed their expressions, because they all knew what the “something” in this man’s mouth meant.

If it were in the real world, they might laugh off this speculation, but in this martial arts module, anything can happen!

Furthermore, in folklore in many places, it is mentioned that if a certain tree grows very well and is obviously different from the same kind around it, then there is likely to be backup hidden energy underneath the tree!

Humanity!

In a sense, humans are a comprehensive nutritional supplement to various animals and plants in nature, so many fairy novels mention that monsters who have become spirits will like to feed on humans. , because eating humans can make them nutritionally complete.

 So is there something special under that patch of reeds?

Yang De looked at Liu Xing subconsciously, and found that Liu Xing was still looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, as if he was still observing the eagle sauce hovering in the sky.

It’s been a few minutes. Doesn’t the leader feel uncomfortable in his neck?

Yang De didn’t dare to say or ask. After all, if the alliance leader was really gifted, it would not be impossible to be able to constantly look up at the sky.

So Yang De feels that at this time, as the captain of the temporary rescue team, it is time for him to stand up and show his performance!

So, Yang De cleared his throat and said seriously: “My friends, please listen to me. Although there is a certain distance between the reed grove and the reed marsh in front of us, we also have reason to think that this reed marsh is In fact, it has something to do with the reed marsh in front of us. After all, there is only such a reed marsh in this area that produces reeds! Therefore, according to Lao He’s speculation, there may be some secret hidden under the reed marsh! And Dong Qing before this They only had a taste of it and didn’t even want to get into the water, so they just pulled out a few reeds and went back to report to the alliance leader!”

When Yang De said the last few words, he deliberately raised his voice, hoping to let Liu Xing next to him hear it. Unfortunately, Liu Xing had already entered a selfless state at this time, so Yang De’s voice was still noisy. Don’t wake him up.

Seeing that Liu Xing had no intention of speaking, Yang De could only continue: “So we have to trace the source and see if there are any secrets under the reeds! If so, then I think Lao He’s guess is the best. It’s possible, then the past of Reed Town may be more terrifying than we imagined!”

As Yang De’s only friend in this martial arts module, Lao He stood up and said: “I can swim, but to be on the safe side, would any of you be willing to go into the water with me?”

 “I’ll do it! I’m a swimmer in the real world.”

One player raised his hand and said: “Although I only practiced swimming for a few years when I was in middle school and participated in a municipal sports meeting.”

“No problem, I’m just a winter swimming enthusiast. I swim a few laps every year except in winter, and I usually just take a dip in the swimming pool. But as long as there are no undercurrents in the river, I can still become a wave in this river. It’s filled with white strips.”

Lao He said confidently: “Without further delay, let’s set off now! Although you don’t need to be so particular about getting into the water this summer, you still have to move your body if you can to avoid cramps or something…”

Before Lao He finished speaking, Liu Xing felt his neck was cramping because he had maintained the same posture for a long time, and then he subconsciously shrank his neck and took a breath of cold air.

Liu Xing’s movements also attracted the attention of Yang De and others, so Yang De expressed his thoughts again.

Looking at Lao He and another player who were eager to try, Liu Xing nodded and said: “In that case, let’s grab this reed bush. Anyway, this reed bush is just that big. It doesn’t matter whether it exists or not. The river has no impact!”

Yang De nodded quickly, and then took Lao He and others to find the trouble in the reed bush. The other players had nothing to do, so they followed along to watch the fun. Anyway, Schiller and others had just arrived. It hasn’t been long since we entered the reed swamp, so nothing should happen now.

Liu Xing was also bored, so he walked over with a cane. Of course, he didn’t forget to call Yingjiang back before doing so.

One said that the eagle sauce came back faster than Liu Xing’s imagination. As long as he shouted, he returned directly, and he flew down without twisting in the sky for a while.

It seems that the characteristics of the “Falcon Tamer” are quite powerful. He made Yingjiang obey his words from the very beginning and did not do anything rebellious.

In fact, Liu Xing was already prepared, that is, after the eagle sauce was released, it began to disobey him and even tried to run away. However, he could wait for it to fly for a while, and then activate the eagle eye skill to determine the eagle’s flight. The specific location of the sauce, and then capture it back.

This time, you can not only improve the “favorability” of Eagle Sauce, but also brush up the proficiency of the Eagle Eye skill, and at the same time familiarize yourself with the operation method of the Eagle Eye skill.

This is also a common routine in many stand-alone games, that is, after the player acquires a new skill, the player is immediately placed in a scene where he needs to use this skill. This shows that the design ideas of this martial arts module must have been based on many previous ones. A stand-alone game, this also proves that the person who created the martial arts module, that is, the male voice originally lived in a similar era to himself. Of course, various information before this also proved that the male voice and myself should be considered to be of the same age, and the difference in size is within the same generation gap.

 This is also a relatively important piece of information.

At this moment, Liu Xing also came to the reeds and found that Lao He had already entered the water.

As a landlubber, Liu Xing could only watch from the side, and because of his inconvenient legs and feet, he couldn’t squat down to watch the fun, so he could only tease Yingjiang in his spare time.

To be honest, the more Liu Xing looks at Yingjiang, the more he likes it, because Yingjiang looks so handsome. Unfortunately, his feathers are a little dull due to hunger, so Liu Xing has already had Yingjiang catch him. There are a lot of small fish, so it can be replenished.

Therefore, Liu Xing now has a bold idea, which is to bring Yingjiang back to the real world, but he doesn’t know if Yingjiang will listen to himself after returning to the real world. After all, he has nothing in the real world. “Falcon Tamer” trait, and the person who tames the eagle sauce is “Liu Peng” rather than Liu Xing.

So Liu Xing is going to try to determine whether he can bring an obedient Yingjiang back to the real world during the redemption session at the end of the module. If he can, then as long as the required redemption points are not too outrageous, then he is still willing to do it for Yingjiang. I spent this money.

Of course, even if Hawk-chan returns to the real world and he can no longer use Hawk Eye or other special skills, it won’t be a problem, because he has already been prepared. After all, Hawk Eye skills are not only for This martial arts module is a super skill that destroys the balance of the game. It is comparable to a small drone in the real world.

Although with Liu Xing’s current net worth, it is not difficult to buy a drone with excellent conditions in the real world, the problem is that the drone is still a bit too conspicuous, and in some places it is too conspicuous. It cannot fly, so it is not as comprehensive as Yingjiang. Moreover, Yingjiang’s combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of ordinary drones.

However, if possible, Liu Xing is also willing to spend a lot of money to bring the characteristics of a “Falcon Tamer” back to the real world, or let himself obtain the characteristics of a “Falcon Tamer” in the real world. In this way, he can bring Instead of returning to Eagle Sauce, you can also find a way to tame a falcon in the real world, and then make it your own smart drone, so that you will have an animal companion in the subsequent real-world modules.

 Cheese Eagle.

At this moment, Lao He, who had dived into the water, started flopping in panic, and his expression was even more obvious with panic and fear!

 Obviously, Lao He saw something.

At this time, another player who followed Lao He into the water also surfaced. His expression was even worse than that of Lao He, so Yang De and others who were prepared on the shore immediately took action. They were pulled up.

 Then, Lao He and the other two may have experienced symptoms of hyperventilation due to excessive fright, so Liu Xing immediately stepped forward to help them return to the correct breathing rhythm to avoid bigger problems.

After a while, Lao He finally returned to normal, so he pointed directly at the reeds and said: “There is indeed something wrong with this thing! Its underwater part is a humanoid creature. If I want to describe it, it is like a creature in Western mythology. Mandrake?”

 Mandrake?

Liu Xing has seen descriptions of mandrake in many Western literary works. This plant can be regarded as an enlarged version of ginseng, because its underground part is also mainly human-shaped, but if someone gives this part to If pulled out, the humanoid part will emit a sharp roar, and ordinary people may be frightened by its scream!

Of course, the fright here refers to fright in the physical sense. From a medical perspective, the sound of the mandrake resonates with human organs, causing some organs to rupture. This ultimately led to the man’s death.

But having said that, there is also a legend about ginseng in the three northeastern provinces, that is, ginseng in some years can be cultivated into essence, so the humanoid part underground can also crawl out on its own and move freely, running faster than humans!

Therefore, Liu Xing was not sure for a while whether the humanoid creature under the reeds was based on mandrake or ginseng essence. If it was the latter, it would be easy to say, but if it was the former, it might be… It’s going to be troublesome, because if our group drags it out of the water rashly, will it give us and our group a slap in the face?

 It would be a pity if something happened to someone at this time.

“If this thing is just similar to a humanoid, then you won’t be scared like this, right? So you should have discovered something else?” Yang De asked.

“Yes, if this thing just looks weird, it’s nothing, because we have seen a lot of weird things in the Cthulhu Run game lobby! But this thing can suddenly open its eyes, and it’s just right It was when we noticed its eyes, so this kind of close-to-the-face killing was really impactful, and more importantly, at that moment, I remembered something that could scare me.”

Having said this, Lao He looked at the other player who went into the water with him, “Fortunately, this brother pulled me, so I came back to my senses and swam up immediately, but I also noticed at the time that he seemed to have seen The monster’s eyes, so I had to kick him.”

“Yes, I noticed that Lao He suddenly froze in front of the monster, and I realized that Lao He might have encountered some problem, so I quickly stepped forward and gave him a hand, but Lao He just turned sideways , I saw the monster’s eyes, and then I lost consciousness. I just felt that many memories that scared me came to my heart! Fortunately, Lao He kicked me, and then I lowered my head for a moment. I regained consciousness during the time, and then I quickly turned back and headed upstream.”

As soon as the player finished speaking, Liu Xing asked directly: “Have you triggered the corresponding World of Warcraft illustration? Could this be a new Warcraft?”

Lao He shook his head and said seriously: “No, I just took a look at the World of Warcraft illustrated book while I was adjusting my breathing, and it didn’t trigger any new illustrated book, so I use this thing to refer to this thing! So I suspect this is the demon we guessed before?”

 “Pull it out!”

Liu Xing nodded and said: “Now that we have determined the attack method of this thing, we just need not to look into its eyes, so let’s form a circle now!”
